[SOLVED] PHP help please. i must be an idiot?

stillkt1980 · September 3, 2009

OK, guys... I wrote a very simple contact form script and it isn't working correctly. It sends me the email, but the requested info is missing. I'm new to scripting, so please be forgiving. If someone could possibly point out my error, what would be great! Thanks, guys! Here's the code:

<?php

/* Subject and Email Variables */

$emailSubject = 'Keep Me Updated!';
$webMaster = 'updates@byevolution.com';

/* Gathering Data Variables */

$emailField = $_POST['email'];
$body = <<<EOD
<br><hr><br>
Email: $email <br>
EOD;

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers,);

/* Results Rendered as HTML */

$theResults = <<<EOD

$body = <<<EOD

<hr>

Email: $email

EOD;

Where are your quotes? Try this, then tell us how it works

$body = "<<<EOD

<hr>

Email: $email

EOD";

Garethp · September 3, 2009

Also, $theresults don't seem to be quoted either. You have errors off, right? You should turn them on

stillkt1980 · September 3, 2009

Thanks for your help! I entered the quotes as you said, and all I received in the email was:

Email:

EOD

stillkt1980 · September 3, 2009

I also forgot to add that the results page shows up just fine, even without the quotes.

Garethp · September 3, 2009

Have you assigned $email to any value?

stillkt1980 · September 3, 2009

Yes, email is assigned to the contact form which only consists of one text box and a submit button. Here's the website if you want to look at it. http://byevolution.com Thanks!

Garethp · September 3, 2009

Look here

$emailField = $_POST['email'];

$body = <<<EOD

<hr>

Email: $email

EOD;

You have $emailField set, but nowhere did you set $email. Try this

$emailField = $_POST['email'];

$body = <<<EOD

<hr>

Email: $emailField

EOD;

stillkt1980 · September 3, 2009

THANK YOU! I'm so lame. I knew it had to be an easy fix and I probably wouldn't have ever caught it. I'd so buy you chocolate!

Garethp · September 3, 2009

Hahah, email me the chocolate, I'm sure Gmail will accept it as an attachment XD
